Jake's got us dangling at the end of a line like a hooked fish. It was a beautiful day today, perfect for starting on the driveway. After the rain rain rain, day after day, you could say it was time. But where is he? His delaying tactics are clearly well-practiced: say you've got another job finishing today, blame the weather, say the soil has to dry out, demand money upfront for materials, give an incomplete bank account number so the money can't be transferred for another day - oops before you know it, it'll be raining again.
It's very hard to contemplate doing another project like this one. The house was advertised for rent at the beginning of May. It'll be the end of June next week and still we haven't finished the driveway, which we need to do to get final sign-off. We'll have to pull the ad and relist when the driveway is finally done. With the next fine day not forecast to occur for another 8 days.... aaaargh!!!
